However in May we later reported that Samsung decided to delay the production - trial production will begin towards the end of 2020, with real mass production on a new 10-Gen line only at around 2023. A new report from Korea sheds some more light on Samsung's situation.

According to a new report from China, Samsung will indeed go ahead with its QD-OLED production plans, but at a slower pace than was first estimated. Samsung will only begin trial production towards the end of 2020, with real mass production on a new 10-Gen line only at around 2023.

Samsung is apparently still struggling with technical issues, and has had to change the material deposition equipment (supplied by Canon Tokki). One of the major issues is that Samsung's QD-OLED panels suffer from burn-in (image retention) - which Samsung hoped to overcome completely in its designs.
